Shakesville: For Sarah Palin, Thursday night’s debate was an open-book exam. She spent much of the evening methodically reading and rehearsing answers. And what the hell was that in her ear?

Of course it won't work. It was a hand out-not a bail out.

If Palin was wired, surely it would be in the other ear, the one AWAY from every camera in the house? I watched the debate on a large, clear tv, and I saw nothing (and I was looking) in her right ear. I can't say anything about her left ear because it was rarely, if ever, on camera.

Palin may or may not have been wired. People watching had to be.

I can't say she was wired with a listening device.But I do believe she had a blackberry. She was reading alot. And at times she seemed to get a little excited as if someone sent her an answer she was looking for.

Palin's attended so many colleges...shouldn't they have polled profs at each school?

Maybe at the beginning the the next debate they should use an airport security wand on the candidates. But it will be the end of Democracy as we know it if they have to do a strip search on McCain,

I think Palin was wired. I watched the debate on C-Span and after the families met on stage, she was walking off and I saw her remove what looked like, some sort of "receiver". It could have been a microphone, the kind that people clip to their lapels and strap to their backs, but why would she need that if she's standing in front of one? I could be wrong, but I know what I saw.....Please correct me if I'm wrong.

While we were busy watching the Congress drive us to the poor house with the $700 Billion $812 Billion Bailout Rescue Swindle.

The Congress was busy driving us to the poor house with the MASSIVELY, OBSCENELY Bloated Military Industrial DEFENSE Indefensible Budget.

Not to mention the Federal Reserve adding $630 Billion in 'Liquidity' at the same time.

Here on The Real News is
Chalmers Johnson: US wrong to believe it can maintain both a military and civilian economy.

We have been doing this for a long time but the jig is just about up.

Whoever is in the White House on January 21, 2009 is going to be in a HOUSE OF CARDS.

A hundred billion here, a hundred billion there, pretty soon you are talking about REAL MONEY. They will not be counting real money in dollars, dollars are just play money.

What professor is going to remember her? She wasn't at any of them long enough.

As our country collapses, the radical right should breakaway and form their own country in Alaska.

John can be king and sarah the queen of the wingnuts. In their new country of Alaska, they can wait for the end of days and breed pure wingnuts.

Palin wired or not? Palin reading notes or not? She's a Rethug. I'd expect her to cheat.

While it might not have been "fair," clearly, the results of her techniques speak for themselves.

That's no surprise.

An ex-staffer of Palin reported that she said "Sambo beat the bitch!" when Obama won the nomination.

Whoa!!! Thanks for that. I'd just about retired my tinfoil hat, but I think I'll dust it off and wear it proudly. It's starting to look like the conspiracy theorists are correct after all, sadly.

They were both wearing wireless mikes - thats why you could hear her now infamous comment "Can I call you Joe?" as they were shaking hands before the debate. That is probably what you saw her remove.

That said, however, I did notice something on her right ear. I was watching CNN and most of the shots of her were straight-on or from her left side. I also think she had a blackberry as well, possibly for backup.

No thank you on that. Then I could not go and visit beautiful next door Alaska anymore. And where would the pretty much majority of good Alaskans go.

Also wtf is up with this Palin Dude's mom being 1/4 Yup'ik. That makes 1/8 of his DNA Yup'ik. Who cares. Fact is I bet he's got some Norwegian in him cause the whalers in the old days did get around so I'd say its less than 1/8 but again who cares. All these idiots who brag about their native ancestory even if they have a drop of blood yet do nothing to improve the lives of First Nations peoples. Bastards.

I really believe she was wired. early in the debate it looked like someone said if you hear this? Then wink and the rest of the debate she seemed to be listening intently then smile once she got her info. She didn't even hear about Bidens wife being killed and his child in distress. Why else would she not offer sympathy at that point. She is a beauty queen with beauty queen answers. A great neo-con set up

looks like sarah palin has been complaining about press coverage her entire political career.

during her first four months in office she provoked a string of appalled editorials in the local paper, the Mat-Su Valley Frontiersman:

Mayor Palin fails to have a firm grasp of something very simple: the truth . . . Wasilla residents have been subjected to attempts to unlawfully appoint council members, statements that have been shown to be patently untrue, unrepentant backpedalling, and incessant whining that her only enemies are the press and a few disgruntled supporters of former mayor John Stein.
